The Blue teams - the top seniors from northern Delaware - will face off against the Gold teams - the top seniors from southern Delaware - starting with the girls’ game at 1:00 p.m. and concluding with the boys’ game which begins shortly after the conclusion of the girls’ game.

This family-friendly event includes a Kid’s Fun Zone, a pre-Games Middle School Basketball Skills Clinic, half-time 3-point shot contest (girls), slam dunk contest (boys) and an exciting special feature this year –between games fans will be treated to a high school Band Fest (bands to be announced shortly).

“This is a special experience for the players who were selected, to be recognized by their coaches not only as terrific basketball players but as leaders and role models. We’re pleased to again partner with Best Buddies Delaware to highlight the important role that their organization plays in schools and communities across the state,” says attorney Larry Kimmel, Chair of the Blue-Gold Basketball Board of Trustees.

“The legacy of Blue-Gold basketball is the public awareness created and funds generated in support of the Best Buddies mission of inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” adds Tom Waite, State Director of Best Buddies Delaware.
